If you were born in a Western culture, you know about Hera, Zeus, Jupiter and Hercules or Heracles.  You at least know that Mercury is more than just a planet.   Some of those stories are foreign if you are from an Asian culture, so it pays to look at the stories inside a culture.

So... you want to go to India...




Do you really know India?  Do you know the tales of the Ramayama?  What about Krishna and Arjuna? 

What about the themes of Creating, Maintaining and Destroying (in order to create anew)?  What is the circle of Life?

Come with us now -- Mangala Kilpadi will tell you about the foundations of Indian culture in short bits (videos that are found on Facebook).  You can also find articles from Wikipedia (the links are given for the full stories).  This is your portal to the culture of India.

Are you ready to start your journey?   Come with Mangala and hear the first story.....

About your story teller:  Mangala was born in __________ and raised three children with these stories.  They said, "Amma, you should write them down."  She did, but the TELLING of the story is best preserved in sound or with Mangala's gestures on video.   Thanks to the magic of digital photography and the mega-storage of Facebook and YouTube, these stories were first recorded in a marathon session in January 2009... and more stories are being added.   Send your requests to Mangala@yahoo.com
